About 86|87 Wines
“86|87 Wines is the debut label of Caroline and Jeffrey Shifflett, a brother/sister team and 4th generation of a Napa-Valley grape growing family. Jeffrey is responsible for production; after many harvests in the cellar, he pivoted to focus on farming, now managing the family’s 120 acre property in the Oak Knoll district of Napa Valley and making 86|87 wines on the side. Caroline is responsible for building relationships throughout the United States and managing the daily sales efforts on property.“

TASTING NOTES:
“The wine is a beautiful ruby red color; aromas rich with ripe red fruits and baking spice. On the palate, black and red currants, dark cherries, and a touch of cracked pepper finish with fine-ground tannins and a lively acidity.” (AbV 15%, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon 50% Syrah, Dry)

BARRELS:
21 months in French oak, 25% new.
